Period Came Lasted

Not 1 per month:
Normal periods come every 21-35 days. You ovaries do not follow a calendar. They do not know what day, week or month it is. Periods do not come once per month. They come every 21-35 days. Any relationship to an actual calendar is purely coincidental. Birth control is great at providing menstrual cycle control.

Most likely, if you have shorter cycles you had intercourse after your fertile time, and got unlucky with the condom. Some men are not aware condoms come in a number of sizes.

Recheck:
Just because there was some bleeding at the time of the expected period, it does not rule out pregnancy. Some "spotting" of blood can seem like a light or slightly irregular period. Recheck pregnancy test soon - preferably at md's office as they may be able to do blood and/or urine testing for pregnancy.

She is not pregnant:
I do not understand your question or the motivation behind it. If she has two negative pregnancy tests and no new high risk exposure then by all means she is not pregnant. There is no 'immaculate' conception in our time in the world.

Trust the test:
Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctor's office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period. If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection.

Always possible!:
If you are having irregular or absent cycles, then the first thing that you should consider is pregnancy! take a pregnancy test. If it is negative, then repeat it in about 2 weeks just to be sure. If the test remains negative, then talk with your doctor about "anovulatory cycles". This often requires an exam and labs related to your thyroid, diabetes and pcos.

Not to worry:
Periods can naturally change up or down 2-3 days and still be normal. An evaluation may be needed if intervals between your period get very short (less than 24 days) or very long (greater than 42 days). Medical conditions may be responsible for this, but not in the case of only 2 days. Do not worry.
